Description
Due to budgetary restraints, the album was recorded and mixed in seven days on a budget of between £2,000 and £3,000, which resulted in the band working 16 or 17 hours a day to complete the album. Smith stated that as a result, the track “The Final Sound” was actually planned to be much longer, but was cut down to 53 seconds because the tape ran out while recording, and they couldn’t record it again. The record, mostly a collection of downbeat tracks, features ambient echoing vocals and minimally treated instruments, with the album’s sonic direction driven by its drum sound.
